State Highway Commission Sends Request That Two Routes Are Marked CPCI IM'fi Ml IP RCTTPP West Side Route to be Known as S. 99 West, East Side S.

59 East" The national association of stale highway engineers has been re-. by the Oregon state highway commission to officially designate the west Pacific highway S. 99 West" and the east side Pacific highway S. 99 East." This infonnatkm was told the representatives of the west side" citie3 yesterday when they met in Portland with the state highway comA. mission.

For the past few years there has been considerable activity on the part of the w.est side cities to obtain equitable recognition by highway bodies relative to the east and west side Pacific highway routes. It has been the general feeling that too much emphasis has been placed upon the east side highway as being the best route. Routes oh Equality The decision of the last few days of the Oregon highway body to request the same markings for both routes now places the two branches of the Pacific highway through the Willamette valley on an equality. The move of the highway commission is also seen by west side people as one which will tend to foster a stronger feeling of cooperation. The maps of this year will' not carry the new designations but the signs will be put up this year, it is believed.

A letter is on file in the office of the Corvallis cham ber of commerce from the natiotiatf association of' the -state highway engineers stating all that wa3 necessary to obtain these desired highway markings was a recommendation from the Oregon state highway commission-- Sent by Air Mail Now that this request from the Oregon highway group has been sent by air mail to Washington, D. local officials believe immediate action will be made so the signs will be installed during the present tourist season. The highway committee ai the local chamber of commerce has been very' active in this work, co- operating with -those of other cities 0n the west side to bring about the desired results. Approximately 30 representatives from the west side were in Portland yesterday.
